Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) is an emerging and transformative discipline with a huge potential to accelerate materials discovery, product design and process optimization. The Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE) is engaged in developing a technology roadmap for "Accelerated Materials Discovery, Scale-up and Exploitation Strategy for Materials Needs of India". The compilation of the capability and various tools / technologies existing in India that can assist the ICME community is one of the essential parts of this effort. With this objective in mind, the ICME National Hub at IIT Kanpur on behalf of the INAE, is conducting a nation-wide “Survey on Capability and Tools / Technology Mapping”.
The road-mapping team has identified the following five proof of concept (POC) problems spanning structural / engineering materials for:
A) Defense (naval steel),
B) Power (advanced ultra-super-critical thermal power plants),
C) Automotive (light weighting),
D) Process Routes (powder metallurgy / additive manufacturing) for turbine disks and
E) Bio-implant / medical devices.
This data collection is in collaboration with the ICME National Hub at IIT Kanpur coordinated by Prof. Amarendra K. Singh. For any suggestions or queries about this portal, please drop a line to Gandham Phanikumar. Procedure to register yourself at this portal, adding data etc., are in the FAQ page.
In addition, we request you to suggest names of people along with their affiliations and email addresses who, in your opinion, will be contributing to the above fields as domain expert / modeling expert / experimentalist / domain expert and we, from ICME National Hub, will reach out to the them to capture the details of capability as well as tools / technologies.
